Is there any potential gains by removing this two also since you are already cutting up the box? Do the aftermarket replacements also have those? Just seems like anything in that area is an obstruction.
I think some aftermarket CAI's might have them but my GM CAI did not. Kind of wish it did, I had a Velossatech BM scoop which I took off because at speeds of over 130mph or so near the top of 4th gear the car was having issues where it would go into reduced power mode out of nowhere. From what I read and others experiences it seemed the MAF signal might have been jumbled up, maybe those fins would have helped in my case lol.
